Netflix Granting Interviews to a Penny Stock Promoter

Robert Scoble and I had breakfast earlier this morning after shooting another episode of Photowalking with Netflix rented out Alcatraz for a night and showed the movie "Escape from Alcatraz" on it. Back when they did this Davis had requested a press pass to cover the Alcatraz event but never heard back from Netflix. Maybe instead of screwing around with shady stock promoters Netflix should look to better embrace the blogosphere to promote cool events like the Alcatraz one. How come there weren't any bloggers covering that? Mike K of course covers the most famous Netflix blog,did have Mike in for a visit a while back. But could Netflix be doing a better job at embracing bloggers? Their product is viral and does very well in the blogosphere. Maybe Swasey should try to focus on giving more interviews to bloggers and less to WallSt.net. Bookmark Murdok: Thomas Hawk is a San Francisco based photographer and technology writer.
